[Verse 1]
Flashes of light, light, light
Inside the tower, but I am uninvited
I'm on earth and you're high up in the sky, sky, sky
Isolate yourself with your kind
From the world outside
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Locked yourself inside your shell
Afraid of all the tales they tell
They laid their eggs inside your mind
While the world revolves you're paralyzed
[Chorus]
I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black bu*terfly
[Verse 2]
Fly fly, like you always dreamed
'cause when we die, -ie, -ie
We'll be paying for our sins
Now they say "My oh my"
But remember who has stood by your side
All this time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you were crawling on your knees
Now you're the one abandoning me
I'm not the one who has changed
Not the one who needs to be saved
[Chorus]
I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black bu*terfly
[Bridge]
So what have you become
Craving for the storm
'cause you feel so numb
(feel so numb)
And inside your shell you became someone else
(you're someone else)
[Chorus]
I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black bu*terfly
[Chorus]
I'm out of tears to cry
Bend the knee
I'm done seein' you fall in line
I'm out of strength to fight
If you earned your wings
Fly black bu*terfly
[Outro]
(You say "When death will kiss me goodbye
I'll be flying high up in the sky
Into eternity, I will rise
So save your tears, I'll be a bu*terfly")
I'd rather live before I die
Than die to live in paradise
A sinner dying on his feet
Or living a life on your knees
